What fuel do you use?

[niko]

go go gasssssss

[merlin]

98 RON - The price is higher but I get more kays per tank so its cheaper in the long run, not to mention the fact that is also boosts perforamance and keeps the engine clean of e.

[macca_779]

I use petrol personally piston engines don't like avtur very much, pitty.

It seems that most of you that have posted hear have rather large pockets or maybe your vehicles have all been tuned to get the best out of 98 ron.

I had mine retuned to 95 ron recently because of the cost, it still performs noticebly better when I occasionally run the 98 ron, when it's cheap enough and when I feel like a good fang. :

I run my daily driver, a DC LTD 5.0, on regular. the ZC 351 gets premium otherwise it pings like mad.

[nick81xd]

lol righto ill accept the blame for it.
i just seen it on the 2nd page i think it was but oh well sum people are getting a kick out of it

[deesun]

Fuel here on nth coast is still $1.27cpl unleaded $1.36 Optimax but Thats all I use in all my cars. Yes it hurts sometimes but I'm happy to pay a little extra.

[Kaddis]

i only use premium in my XR it just runs soo much better and alot more smooth + you can feel that little extra power... cant wait till my ea is on the road gas is going to be great!

[Focussed]

I live in Alice Springs NT and have been running my BA XR8 on BP Ultimate. Went to fill up yesterday & almost died! It now costs $160.9 p/l up here!
Why, am I complaining? I have a motorcharge card... lol

[EDXR]

BP ultimate 98


It is very expensive when fuel prices are high but i seem to get more klms from the the ultimate than normal unleaded.

I worked it out once and it was less than 10 dollars extra per tank for ultimate and i figure while i can afford it why not?

[EBII Fairmont]

On part-time pay, i try my hardest to fill up on bp or mobile premium. last couple of weeks which it has been cheap i have been goin nuts. but for a while i was using shell unleaded. it made my baby sick and now that she is recieving the right treatment, she is seeing better days :Reverend:.

[Smoke Pursuit]

BP 95 RON..

The BAs love this stuff, put the cheap in and they dont run as smooth.

[Blue Oval Mopar Man]

Not premium or ultimate if your in WA for the next few weeks !!!!!!!!!

[coley13]

bp ultimate 98

i run in both my car and my cr500. the bikes fussy on what fuel she likes and of all the brands claiming 98ron BP is by far better.

[Falcon Coupe]

High octane is only a benefit if the car pings on lower octane, i run the GT on 98 ron, but the Rodeo and BA run standard unleaded with no problem.

[eb91xr6]

I own a Eb s1 And It Drinks the juice. One Tank lasts a week. normaly 450km per tank give it the 98 when the tanks empty and only putting $20 in just for better responce.

[troppo]

BP95 ron..@1.36/l :(
Even 91ron is @ around the 1.30 mark in Darwin

[AC/DC]

servo fuel for da palcon...

2 stroke for the bike, mowa, whippa snippa, blower, hedger,

heat beads for the weber !

food for the missus !

[AMT]

I use BP Ultimate 98, works well in the Turbo i think...

[MAGPIE]

BP Ultimate & at $1.77 : it sure hurts, thankfully the WRX averages just under 10l/100k _2:

my eb does just over that :alien2:

[vino3o2]

Use Shell Optimax in the XP...seems to run better with it than the BP stuff, tried some 95 premium in it the other day cause i needed fuel and thats all that was at this servo and it pinged real bad when the foot went down, so never again

[Dazza TT]

I use Premium in the ute. Tend to stick to Vortex whenever I can. I seem to get better k's per tank using premium.
The Pox Ridden Rough as Guts Company Rodeo : gets diesel. Bring on a new Petrol Hilux! (I have a choice of a Hilux or Falcon, but I need a 4x4 for some of the roads I go on, and there are a few beaches up here to drive on too!)
But hey, when its free, and I can use it anywhere in the state, You take what you're given!

Cheers

[347_XR8]

Only Optimax or Ultimate in the XR8. The company car is any unleaded

[Steffo]

Well, last time I posted I had a different car... my new car ('00 Ford Econovan Maxi) runs regular. And I'm heavily considering going LPG.

[70caprigt3k]

Ive only ever used optimax 98 octane in the ED so im not sure how ultimate goes but i found that with the capri i couldnt run vortex because it would run like s**t, shell was a bit better but not by enough and ultimate did the trick and 91 was a big no no because it wouldnt take anything under 97.

[HLC]

91 RON....

i got 540 kays out of the last tank.. i used 66 litres : car was running on fumes by the time i got to the servo :P cost $87 to fill up. and on my tight budget. that is A LOT!

[RG]

Optimax, ultimate or that United ethanol 98ron stuff for me.

I was comparing it to my EL XR6 which would get 12.5l/100k on a good day if I drove like a grandma sleep:
